When you get ready for vacation, the first thing most of us do is take an inventory of our wardrobe and make a list of what we need. Depending on where you are going, you may need a new swimsuit, or new ski pants, or comfortable shoes for walking around the city. Don’t forget to inventory your perfume wardrobe and add the right fragrances to it depending on your destination.
Our sense of smell plays an important role in creating and triggering memories. It can bring back the feelings you had on vacation just as strongly as any photographs you’ve taken. This is why fragrance is something very personal.
